Advanced Output always on

Really handy I must say...
Ïn my workflow I have to jump in and out from the advanced output.
So I would love to have the Advanced output as a "Fullscreen" option:

So that I can quickly jump in and out (Disable/enable) from it without having to "Save and Close" or Cancel.
It could of course also be under the Advanced output:

This option would only start the Advanced output without opening the edit window.

Can you explain why do you need to switch in/out output? Sounds really strange to me.

you can have the advanced output open and interact with the main window just fine.
everything works except saving and losing composition
so you don't need to close the advanced output window.

Hi there and thanks for the input. Mainly the reason was to switch between the Advanced output in Arena 4 to Arena 5... But it works to just "set frontmost" in a apple script : )

All the best.

Hey Babcom, why don't you share your apple script with the forum?

Basically the script i used to run is:

tell application "System Events" to set frontmost of process "Arena" to true


But since the program has the same name I had to run every thing trough another program called Keyboard maestro. There you can specify exactly witch program you want frontmost.

The easiest way would be if the Application name was "Arena 4" and "Arena 5" Then the first apple script would do the job : )
